This study investigates the interaction between six newly defined user experience (UX) dimensions based on Donald Norman’s three-stage emotional design framework, focusing on energy-harvesting fashion products. This approach addresses the limitations of earlier studies that attempted to explain the complexity of energy-harvesting fashion using fragmented or single-dimensional models. By integrating emotional design and user experience into a unified analytical framework, this study proposes a new standard for evaluating smart fashion from a human-centered perspective. Fifteen representative case studies were selected and analyzed using data collected from academic literature and validated online sources. Through this theory-driven qualitative analysis, the study identifies how UX priorities differ and interact across the three stages of emotional design. At the visceral stage, user experience is mainly shaped by aesthetics, accessibility, and immediate usability, highlighting intuitive and sensory engagement. At the behavioral stage, efficiency, usability, and functional usefulness dominate, reflecting performance-oriented interaction and practical operation. At the reflective stage, values, aesthetics, and usability converge to support users’ cognitive interpretation, identity formation, and sustainability-centered meaning. Overall, this study contributes to the field by shifting attention from technical implementation to emotionally driven, human-centered experience. It offers a foundational framework for evaluating energy-harvesting fashion through the combined lenses of emotional design and user experience, providing practical implications for smart fashion development, usability assessment, and interdisciplinary design research. However, because the analysis relies on qualitative case studies and theoretical interpretation, the findings have limitations in generalizability and should be further validated through future empirical studies.
